I agree with your assessment. I used to have the folk cutaway version. A very plain, simple sound - no richness or complexity. Yes, it could be loud, but not very responsive to changes in dynamics. Seemed like I had to play at or above a sort of minimum force level to make the top respond. Not bad for an inexpensive guitar. Well made but not one I wanted to spend a lot of time with. A good campfire guitar.
